I am trying to make all of my Thanksgiving recipes early so I can have them up for you in time to go grocery shopping before Thursday! Here is my favorite stuffing recipe. I made it a few years back when I first started the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and fooled everyone at the table into … Continue reading →

I love pomegranate seeds in a salad. They add a nice crunch and a lovely red color, and go really well with a balsamic vinaigrette. I actually would have preferred to put Bosc pears in this salad, but I couldn’t find any ripe ones so I used some of my son’s blueberries! Ingredients (serves 6) … Continue reading →

I don’t know about you, but I grew up on the canned variety of this holiday favorite. I actually never liked it and skipped over the jelly like substance at every Thanksgiving. Now that I’ve made it homemade and know what I am eating is not full of refined sugar, I’ve grown to love it … Continue reading →

Butternut squash is the quintessential Fall comfort food to me. I love the silky texture when its cooked, the rich buttery flavor, and of course the vibrant orange hue. Butternut squash, along with a lot of the other members in the gourd family, are low in fat and high in fiber. That bright orange color … Continue reading →

I made a trial Thanksgiving dinner the other night and am so happy with the recipe I came up with for this Brown Butter Sage Butternut Squash. Try saying that 5 times fast!

However, using olive oil instead of butter and mushrooms to give it a meaty filling, each serving is only about 130 calories and is delicious! Ingredients (serves 6) 3 medium yellow squash … Continue reading →

My husband’s family introduced me to a heavenly (and sinful) breakfast they called the Tahoe Breakfast. It’s an egg casserole with hashbrowns, sausage, and cheese baked in; and is delicious. It’s one of my husband’s favorite things to eat during the winter, but is not by any means SCD (or figure) friendly. I substituted the … Continue reading →

This dish uses saffron infused water and other spices to flavor cauliflower that has been grated to resemble a rice consistency. I serve it with my Chicken Tikka Masala, but it would also go great with a roasted chicken and grilled vegetables. I usually use a food processor with the grater attachment to get the … Continue reading →

Update: Please see my updated stuffing post Grain-Free Stuffing here It was my job to make the stuffing this year, so I experimented with SCD bread. The greatest part is that no one knew the difference, and once I told them what it was made of, they went back for seconds! Ingredients For the Bread Loaf … Continue reading →
